rubberdinghy Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 OMG!!! After deciding that I've spent way tooooo much time indoors today, I decided to go for a Westboro walk...I walked by Andy's and they have this HUGE sign in the window that they are closing for good Aug 28 to be re-opened under new ownership!!!This is one of the saddest moments in Westboro's current history...Andy's is a tiny diner, with an early 70's decor inside...fitting since it opened it's doors back then. You can get a mean breakie for cheap at this place...and damn it's good...I would go in and order breakfast, and it would be at my table in under 3 minutes!!! After living in the 'boro for nearly 21 years, (with a few stints downtown and nepean)I am definately saddened to see this place go...so many memories. One of the few remaining Westboro originals since I moved here.So if you have a chance to hit this joint up b4 sunday, do it up. and tip well...the regular waitress seemed a little sad today, she's prolly out of a job.
Freeker Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI'll be in for one last breakfast.
ollie Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 I've had breafast there before. The yuppie-fication of Richmond Road continues.
rubberdinghy Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Posted August 25, 2005 Apparently, a good source tells me, that a Spanish/Mexican place is going in there...would have been perfect for a Greco's
phorbesie Posted August 25, 2005 Report Posted August 25, 2005 speaking of greco's...(although i am not a fan, i guess it's an easty thing)my brother-in-law's eyes lit up when i mentioned to him that one exists in the greater ottawa area. where's it at?
rubberdinghy Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Posted August 25, 2005 It's on the 417 and Carp rd. in the Ultramar station there!
rubberdinghy Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) I've had breafast there before. The yuppie-fication of Richmond Road continues.I know...Westboro used to be better when it had 3 gas stations, a Yamaha dealership, a dingey (sp) grocery store, and dead hookers in the dumpsters. oh and I can't beleive I forgot to mention the strip joint, Habba Babba's!
